A Class 12 student of Aligarh Muslim University's Abdullah Girls College committed suicide by hanging herself in her room in the girls' hostel on Monday. Investigation revealed that the student was depressed for the past several years and was undergoing treatment. Tired of this disease, she took her life.

The girl’s family had also reached here from Bijnor Najibabad late in the evening, and were not ready to allow the police to get the post-mortem of the girl conducted.

 Four other girl students also stay in the same room with her. According to the events, a program was organized in the college campus in which she was to participate. But she wrote an application for the warden/class teacher citing  ill health and sought permission to go to JN Medical College.

On getting permission, she went back to the room and committed suicide. Her fellow students found her hanging when they returned.
